I was reading my textbook for a quiz in my general archaeology class when I came across this. I thought it was a little pathetic and also very ironic. The word "scientifically" is misspelled...in a science book. That is hilarious. It makes me wonder if the author of this textbook had an editor. If he/she did, they were a god-awful one. I question the reliability of this textbook. Seriously.

Correction: Get an editor or fire the one you have now and get a new one! I would assume, since this author has a PhD, that they would know how to spell the word "scientifically"(at least I hope, but who knows nowadays?).

The name's Victoria. I grew up in Rhode Island and I'm currently a student at URI working on a Writing & Rhetoric degree.I don't know about you, but I've always found mistakes to be humorous. More specifically, I like mistakes made within written word. In this blog, I'm taking on the role of an editor of the world, bringing to light the mistakes made by commoners, writers and even advertisers, looking for humor in things that aren't intended to be humorous. I am essentially taking the "Red Pen" to any and all facets of our language-driven world.
